The cross is folly to those who are perishing.
to us who are being saved
it is the power of God. |
1 Corinthians 1:18 |
|
Crosses release us from this world,
and by doing so, bind us to God.

Be patient in suffering. |
Romans 12:12 |
|
Let us understand that God is a Physician
and that suffering is a medicine for salvation,
not a punishment for damnation.

|
Though the Lord cause grief,
he will have compassion
according to the abundance of his love.
|
Lamentations 3:31,32 |
|
God is touched by our sorrows
and does not allow them to last forever.
He takes pleasure in trying our love for a time
because he sees that trials purify us and render us worthy
to receive his greater graces.
|
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century
